Inflammatory diseases are diseases that are common in society, often chronic and can lead to decreased quality of life and socio-economic losses.These diseases cover a wide group of serious differences in prognosis and prognosis.In addition, in inflammatory, degenerative or other causes-related rheumatism diseases, the most common symptom is pain.In addition to being a major cause of morbidity, pain can lead to more functional losses than movement restrictions and shape disorders that occur in the joints.Therefore, among the treatment targets, along with the treatment of the underlying disease process, the removal of pain is also of great importance.Pain, a complex phenomenon with a strong subjective component, can be affected by the nature of the underlying disease and by personal biological and psychological tendencies.In addition, environmental and psychosocial factors have an impact on the pain experience.Therefore, the determination of the pain characteristics in the treatment of those with musculoskeletal disease (the beginning, duration, frequency, functional effects, etc.)And the diagnosis is very important in terms of the planning of a comprehensive treatment developed to reduce pain and improve the quality of life.In light of these findings, the doctors who are interested in the treatment of rheumatological processes in the framework of pain management in inflammatory diseases should be known with the importance of pain approach, pain assessment, patofysiology, classification, interdisciplinary approach to pain and teamwork and the detail of pharmacological, non-pharmacological and initiative treatments.Doctors who are concerned with rheumatism diseases, although they are diagnosing the pain and planning its treatment, often don’t call themselves a “ pain doctor”, they think they’re closer to a specialization that treats the diseases of the muscle-skeletal system, which is an acute and non-cancer pain component.They also approach the pain traditionally from the perspective of proximal pain causes such as tissue damage and inflammation, and focus on local or systemic inflammation-reducing treatments in their treatment.In their treatments mainly are used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, disease-modifying drugs, including biological agents, and pharmacological treatments containing corticosteroids.Non-pharmacological, psychosocial approaches, such as physical-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy or exercise, are often considered therapies with low efficacy.In rheumatoid diseases, the etiology of pain is primarily explained within the scope of events in peripheral tissues and, as a result, the doctor emphasizes the pharmacological treatments aimed at the immune system, especially in inflammatory diseases, to control the symptoms.Parallelly, in patients with major or irreversible tissue damage, regardless of the inflammatory or non-inflammatory origin, surgery becomes the main treatment option and pharmacological treatment is used until the final operation.This approach reduces the interest in events in the central nervous system that contribute to pain in the treatment and leads to the implementation of additional analgesic, psychosocial or initiative treatments without extensive research or widespread or adequate use.In addition, this approach also prevents the doctor's limitations in the use of new and multidisciplinary approaches in pain management in the treatment process of patients with rheumatological problems, as well as the planning of quality and original studies on pain.According to a recent study conducted in Europe and indicating the presence of these problems, two-thirds of patients have not been able to provide sufficient pain control.In addition, despite the advances in the treatment of rheumatoid diseases, most patients believe that the doctor focuses on the disease of the underlying muscle-skeletal system in the treatment and is not related to the reduction of pain itself.Despite this impression that exists in some patients, the American Society of Romatology (ACR) confirms that effective pain management and symptom control is an ethical obligation for all healthcare providers and organizations in its statements on pain management in rheumatism diseases.
